- The document analyzes how global TV networks cover issues of peace and violence by comparing measures from the Global Peace Index to a database of media coverage.
- It finds that media in less peaceful countries focuses more on violence and less on the structures that create peace, while more peaceful countries receive disproportionate coverage of rare violent events.
- The Middle East receives high levels of coverage but focuses more on violence, with very few positive stories, though Middle Eastern media covers Afghanistan more positively. Positive stories of peace make up just 1.6% of total stories examined.
War and peace are two powerful forces that have been shaping civilizations. Every nation has gone through various degrees of conflicts. In this paper, the author asks what history lessons can be used to educate the public and policy makers on conflict prevention. If we were to avoid repeating the mistakes and wars of the past, the author believes new innovative approaches are needed for solving old problems of conflicts within a nation and between nations. Alongside current steps to promote social order, the psychology of war and peace must be adequately looked into and utilized in forming the needed policies.
Media and the Challenges of Peace Building in Period of Insurgencyinventionjournals
The paper examined the ways by which the Nigeria media could be used to address the challenges of peace building in period of insurgency. The discussion was in the context of the Boko Haram insurgency that emanated from Nigeria and spread to the neighbouring countries of the Republics of Cameroon, Chad and Niger. The paper reviewed the challenges of media and terrorism. Conflict situations are important to the media providing them with news materials, issues and events to analyzed or comment on. But terrorism or insurgency, much as it offers news materials to the media, also puts journalists and media houses in danger1 . An environment riddled with terrorist’s attacks is unhealthy for media work. Even from this perspective, the media have a role in the campaign for the current insurgency to be conquered and for peace to return to the larger society.

FORCE MULTIPLIERS: The Instrumentalities of ImperialismMaximilian Forte
In the drive to accumulate ever more global power for the US state and its allies, both political and corporate, the quest for totalization confronts the challenge of “overreach”. To operate using smaller efforts to carry larger loads, US strategists have devised what they call “force multipliers”. Force multiplication is about “leverage”: using partners and proxies in an expanding network. Forces are conceptualized in multi-dimensional terms. Anything in the world of cultural systems, social relationships, and material production can become force multipliers for imperialism: food security, oil, electricity, young leaders, aid, social media, NGOs, women’s rights, schoolgirls, democratization, elections, the G8, the European Union, NATO, the IMF, the World Bank, the World Economic Forum, AFRICOM, development, policing, borders, and epidemics, among others.

Globalization (or globalization) describes the process by which regional economies, societies, and cultures have become integrated through a global network of political ideas through communication, transportation, and trade.
The term also refers to the transnational circulation of ideas, languages and popular culture.
Globalization…refers to the growing interconnectedness of different parts of the world, a process which gives rise to complex forms of interaction and interdependency
Response 1 United Nations peacekeeping operations thrive in s.docxwilfredoa1
Response 1:
United Nations peacekeeping operations thrive in some of the most challenging environments across the globe. Their task usually includes, dealing with an array of conflicts or post-war repercussions. Most would agree that, since 1945, the UN has effectively, “provided food to 90 million people in over seventy-five countries, assisted 34 million refugees, worked with 140 nations to minimize climate change, seventy-one international peacekeeping missions, and finally aided fifty countries per year with their elections” (UN, 2020). And yet, disappointments occurred at several points of their existence. Since “the UN has been involved in nearly every major international conflict,” we can expect to see some major mishaps. (Bercovitch and Jackson 2009, 67). For instance, both the Rwanda and Bosnia genocide are key reminders of the UN’s gross failures.
The UN consists, of several intertwined organs. Having a very large body, “each of the 193 Member States, of the United Nations is also a member of the General Assembly. States are admitted to membership in the UN by a decision of the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council” (
UN.org
2020). Following its Charter, the UN oversees at least “thirteen operations across the Continent” (UN 202).
Deciding whether the UN is effective or not, depends on the UN’s ability to reduce conflict. When it comes to human rights violations, one of the greatest tools the UN has to its advantage, is its media shaming. “Moreover, their data shows that the UN has the worse success rate when intervening in intrastate conflict (conflicts within states), yet this has become the more common type of conflict since the 1990s” (Bercovitch and Jackson 2009: 68) Shashi, offered an opinion as to why the UN isn’t effective. The author concedes that;
“The problem of reforming the Security Council is rather akin to a situation in which a number of doctors gather around a patient and all agree on the diagnosis, but they cannot agree
on the prescription. The diagnosis is clear: the Security Council (SC) reflects the geopolitical realities of 1945 and not of today. This situation can be anatomized mathematically, geographically, and politically, as well as in terms of equity” (Shashi 2011).
Contrary to what Shashi says, the UN has its own means of measuring success. Accordingly, it must, “be guided by the principles of consent, impartiality and the non-use of force except in self-defense and defense of the mandate; Be perceived as legitimate and credible, particularly in the eyes of the local population, and Promote national and local ownership of the peace process in the host country” (UN 2020). With this thought in mind, the UN has shown significant changes in countries like, “Sierra Leone, Burundi, Côte d’Ivoire, Timor-Leste, Liberia, Haiti and Kosovo” (UN). During these ongoing operations the UN has provided;
“Basic security guarantees and responding to crises, supporting.

OUR SHARED VULNERABILITY
As K A New York investment banker who walks past Ground Zero
every day on her way to work what today's biggest threat is. Then ask
an illiterate 12-year-old orphan in Malawi who lost his parents to
AIDS. You Will get two very different answers. Invite an Indonesian
fisherman mourning the loss of his entire family and the destruction
of his village from the recent, devastating tsunami to tell you what he
fears most. Then ask a villager in Darfiur, stalked by murderous militias
and fearftil of bombing raids. Their answers, too, are likely to diverge.
Different perceptions of what is a threat are often the biggest
obstacles to international cooperation. But I believe that in the twenty
first century they should not be allowed to lead the world's governments
to pursue very different priorities or to work at cross-purposes. Today's
threats are deeply interconnected, and they feed off of one another. The
misery of people caught in unresolved civil conflicts or of populations
mired in extreme poverty, for example, may increase their attraction
to terrorism. The mass rape of women that occurs too often in today's
conflicts makes the spread of HIV and AIDS all the more likely.
In fact, all of us are vulnerable to what we think of as dangers that
threaten only other people. Millions more of sub-Saharan Africa's
inhabitants would plunge below the poverty line if a nuclear terrorist
attack against a financial center in the United States caused a massive
downturn in the global economy. By the same token, millions ofAmer
icans could quickly become infected if, naturally or through malicious

CHAPTER4 Bui lding Positive Peace I t is important t.docxtiffanyd4
CHAPTER4
Bui lding "Positive Peace"
I t is important to be against war. But it is not enough. We also need to be in favor o f something- something positive and affirm ing: na mely, peace. Peace studies is u nique not only because it is multid iscip linary a nd forth-
rightly proclaims its adherence to "values" but also because it identifies positive visions of
peace as being greater tha n tl1e a bsence of war.
The "pos itive peace" toward whim peace studies strives may be, if anyth ing, even
more challengi ng than the prevention o f war. It is a variatio n on what has been called the
"dog-car problem." Imagine a dog that has spent years barking and run ning after cars.
Then, o ne day, it catmes one. What does it do with it? What would devotees of peace do
w ith the world if they had the opportunity?
This is not a useless exercise because before any future ca n be esta blished, it must first
be imagined. And moreover, unl ike our hypothetical car-m asing dog, the estab lishment
of positive peace is not an ali-or-noth ing p heno meno n. The movement toward positive
peace is likely to be halting and fragme ntary, w ith substantial success along certain dimen-
s ions and likely failures along others. O n bala nce, the project is formidable, nothing less
than a funda mental effort to retl1ink the relatio nship of h uman beings to earn otl1er and
to their shared planet. If war and its causes are difficult to define- and this is assu red ly
the case- positive peace is even more elus ive. (It ca n even be da ngerous, because d isagree-
ments over what constitutes a desirable "peace" ca n lead to war.)
Earlier, we briefly considered "j ust war" doctrine. The co nditio ns for a "just peace"
are no less stren uo us or importa nt. The releva nt issues include-but are not limited to-
aspirations for h uman rights, economic fa irness and opportunity, democratization, and
environmenta l well-being and sustainabili ty. Nonetheless, there is no agreement as to
what, specifically, is des ired or how much e mphasis to place on earn goal.
The pursuit of positive peace nonethe less leads to certain agreed princip les, one of
which is a minimization of vio lence, not o nly the overt vio lence of war, but also what
has been called "structural violence," a co ndition that is typically built into many social
and cultural institutions. A s lavehold ing society may be at peace in that it is not literally at

war, but it is also rife w ith structural vio lence. Structu ral violence has the effect of deny-
ing people importa nt rights s uch as economic opportunity, socia l a nd politica l equality,
a sense of fulfillme nt and se lf-worth, and access to a healthy natural environment. When
people starve to d eath, or even go hungry, a kind of vio lence is taking place. Simi larly,
when huma n beings s uffe r from diseases that are preventable, when they are denied a

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
